> Currently, no matter what any array construction without data creates 0 sized layouts and passes itself to Rust's allocator API, thus OS then comes back to the program and does the job.
> This issue is two-fold:
>  * First, this creates indirection and UB in a sense.
>  * Second, degrades the performance for the merging simd, merging arrays, constructing arrays etc. and intermediate arrays when doing ops. over them.
> The solution would be:
>  * Having UB solved without a performance downside.
>  * Improve the performance
